Arsenal News and Form

The Gunners kicked off their league season with back to back wins over Newcastle and Burnley. They were one-goal margin successes. Then they faced their biggest test of all when they went to Anfield last weekend to meet Liverpool. That did not go well for the Gunners as they came away empty-handed after a 3-1 loss.

But the positive is that they got on the scoresheet, which they have done in all league games so far this season. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has scored two of Arsenal’s four league goals this season. So he’s the top pick for the home side in the goalscorer markets and Arsenal look to get one over their rivals. The chance to move five points clear of Spurs is there.

Arsenal have scored at least two goals in all but one of their last 11 Premier League home games. They have also only lost one of their last 19 home games in the top flight. So there are some good stats behind the Gunners in this one, who claimed a 4-2 home success over Spurs last season. Arsenal do look stacked with offensive options. The question about them once again will be, will their defence be able to stand up to any decent attack?

Tottenham News and Form

Spurs had a major setback last weekend. They were beaten at home by Newcastle. That was a 1-0 defeat which the Lilywhites suffered. There has not been much to convince from them so far this season. They had to come from behind to beat Aston Villa on the opening weekend of the season. Spurs then somehow managed to get a 2-2 draw against Manchester City despite not being in the game at all.

Then came the loss against Newcastle. Harry Kane scored a brace in the final five minutes of their opener against Villa but has been anonymous since. They do have some injury problems, with Juan Foyth and Ryan Sessegnon out. Dele Alli, Kyle Walker-Peters and summer signing Tanguy Ndombele are all doubts for the game. Tottenham are without a win in their last seven away games in the top-flight (D1 L6).

Tottenham have at least averaged two goals per game this season, but they are without a clean sheet in their three. In their away games last season, Tottenham produced a W11 D0 L8 record. They finished last season with no clean sheet in seven, so that’s an eight-match streak now without one on the road in the EPL. Tottenham have now failed to score in three of their last seven road games in the top flight.

Who will win – Arsenal v Tottenham Predictions

The Gunners may have the edge in this one. Even though they got things pretty wrong against Liverpool last weekend in their tactics, they should be fine at home against a Spurs side who have looked a bit unassure of themselves. Home win & both teams to score.
